A LAKESIDE murder victim knew hiskiller.
Police say Gavin Maritz (57) let the suspector suspects into the Leicester Street house hewas housesitting for his sister. Maritz wasstabbed in the chest betweenFridayandMon-day last week.
When the family returned at 18:15 on Mon-day, Maritz was found dead in the bedroom.
His family last spoke to him on Friday.Muizenberg Police Station Commander
Colonel Helena Mouton says the time of deathis not yet known as the autopsy results havenot been released.
On Saturday morning a 42-year-old manwas arrested in Milnerton in connection withthe case. At the time of the arrest the suspectwas driving a black VW Polo which, say thepolice, was stolen from the scene.
Lieutenant Colonel Andrè Traut says thecircumstances of the murder are still beinginvestigated. He says the suspect was origi-nally arrested for possessing stolen property,which led to the investigation into his in-volvement in the murder.
However, Mouton says the man was al-ready linked to the Maritz death prior to hisarrest. Two other individuals, who were alsoin the stolen car, were detained for being inpossession of stolen property.
The suspect was due to appear in the Mui-zenberg Magistrate’s Court yesterday.
Maritz’s sister, Lisa Ballerini, could not bereached for comment at the time of going topress.
Mouton stressed this murder was a “totallyisolated incident”, adding she was concernedresidents linked it to attacks a few monthsago by the so-called balaclava gang (“‘Gang’targets suburbs”, People’s Post, 12 June).
Although the victim’s car and two compu-ters were stolen, Mouton says this was not a
house robbery that turned into a murder.Neighbours expressed shock at the news,
saying they hope police will conduct a thor-ough investigation and make an arrest.
Investigators were at the scene for most ofthe week.
Robin Solomon, chairperson of the Muizen-berg Lakeside Residents’ Association, wasnot aware of the incident. Upon hearing of itfrom this reporter, Solomon described themurder as “tragic and horrific”.
Mouton says pressure by the police and se-curity firms resulted in curbing activities bythe balaclava gang – who break into homesat night while occupants are present.
The gang is armed with knives and wearbalaclavas. Crimes with a similar method ofoperation were behind a spate of house rob-beries in Noordhoek in May and June.
Bunker Road resident Alan Routledge inFebruary woke up to find three balaclava-clad men in his bedroom.
One was armed with a “big carving knife”.Although the 63-year-old was lying in bed atthe time, he managed to throw a blanket overthe armed man. “He untangled himself ... hewasn’t amused,” says Routledge.
He adds the outcome could have been dif-ferent had one of the robbers not let Rusty,a large Ridgeback, out of the study by mis-take. The dog charged at the intruders whofled, jumping out a window over three metresto the ground.

Happy birthday, MadibaHappy birthday, MadibaDear reader,
Tomorrow is Nelson Man-dela’s 94th birthday and all ofus at People’s Post wishMadiba a happy birthday.
Once characterised by fan-fare and lavish celebrations,this special day took on newmeaning when, four yearsago, Madiba urged the worldto instead perform acts ofcharity on his birthday.
Since known as MandelaDay and recognised by theUnited Nations, on this day peoplearound the world are called on to volun-teer for a good cause for 67 minutes; eachminute representative of each year ofMadiba’s life in active politics.
Of these 67 years, the anti-apartheidicon was incarcerated for 27 years. Hewas released in 1990 and played a leadingrole in effecting democratic elections in1994, becoming the country’s first blackpresident. Besides being revered globallyfor his personal sacrifices, Madiba wonhearts with his warmth, dignity, humili-ty and spirit of reconciliation.
The sacrifices made by Madiba and oth-ers who fought apartheid should be re-membered as a reminder of how preciousour democracy is and the opportunitiesit has brought to millions who once livedunder oppressive laws such as the GroupAreas Act, which in 1966, saw areas suchas District Six being declared a whites-on-ly area.
Between 1968 and 1982, the more than60 000 residents of District Six were relo-cated, mostly to townships. All the houseswere bulldozed, leaving behind onlymosques, churchesand someschools; andreducing the history of a once vibrantcommunity to stories, photos, books,newspaper clippings and theatre produc-tions
Many formerly displaced District Sixresidents cannot but be nostalgic whenpaying homage to Madiba on his birth-day, and all he represents in our coun-try’s past and how it translated among or-dinary people.
For those living in communities likeDistrict Six, the realities of race laws cutclose to home. Two schools my friendsand I attended were literally in the thickof things during the years of political un-
rest.I was 10 when I first
tasted teargas in thequad at Sydney StreetPrimary School. Ourteachers sent us home,where more teargas anda street lined with armedpolice awaited us. Wecould barely see throughthe acrid smoke and ourtears.
High school was no dif-ferent and because ourschool, Harold Cressy
High, was situated in the city, we got spe-cial attention from the riot police whosurrounded our school. The move fromDistrict Six literally split our family; mymother, her sister and brother livedalongside one another in three attachedcottages. Along with the pain and lossapartheid inflicted, is the part that defieslogic such as my mom’s stories about herand her sisters frequenting “whites only”hair salons and other facilities becausethey “looked white”.
Before my political awakening, andthrough my childhood’s eyes, I found itamusing to see yet another half-nakedwhite man being hauled out of a house oc-cupied by light-skinned “coloured” pros-titutes, mixed race couples kissing pub-licly as they visited family in “The Dis-trict” and my family’s few white friendsdriving from Obs to our house nearly eve-ry Saturday for curry and roti.
We all have special memories of ourpast, both happy and sad. Sometimes anevent triggers these recollections, as theeve of Madiba’s birthday has for me. I re-flect on this chapter in my history withrespect andasvaluable in shapinganden-riching me to appreciate my present. Thesame respect I afford myself is what I oweothers, respect for their respective lifejourneys and acceptance of their differ-ences. While we are a nation united underour democracy and share common patri-otic interests, we are also our own beauti-ful, individual selves.

Solole auctiona ‘non-event’TERESA FISCHER
SANPARKS is one of the parties interestedin buying Solole Game Reserve.
The Capri property – which was home toeland, springbuck, bushbuck and grey rhe-bok – is on the market.
An auction was held last Friday. Althoughwell-attended, the bidding was poor. Therewas only one bid – for one section of reserve.
Owner John Hume’s lawyer, Izak du Toit,says negotiations are ongoing.
He adds they are pursuing “various poten-tial purchasers”.
Du Toit says some of the potential buyerscame to them as a direct result of last Fri-day’s auction. This was held at the property,located in Kommetjie Road.
Others, like SANParks, expressed interestprior to the auction. The auctioneer, fromthe Consolidated Auction Group, declined tocomment when asked about what had tran-spired at the auction.
However, one person who attended theauction described it is a “non-event”. Ask-ing not to be named, he says there was “rea-sonable” interest on the day, but, with oneexception.
“There was only one bid on one of the tinyplots,” he says, adding the bid had beenmade by a neighbour who wished to extendher property.
He believes many who attended were es-tate agents. Du Toit explains some of the po-tential buyers are interested in the 258 hec-tare farm, while others were interested inportions.
The farm includes 242 hectares of FynbosMountain Reserve. Seven hectares are re-served for residential development and16 hectares for mixed use. Du Toit could notsay how long he expected these negotiationsto take.
Merle Collins, the SANParks spokesper-son, says: “SANParks is currently in discus-sions with the owner to explore various op-tions for the Solole mountainside propertiesto be consolidated into the Table MountainNational Park. The properties are viewed asa priority for consolidation into the Park tobe managed as natural areas due to their im-portant biodiversity and landscape value.”
Le Diamante liquidated?Le Diamante liquidated?TERESA FISCHER
A MUIZENBERG building – which hasbeen standing dormant for nearly a year– may be liquidated by the owners.
Renovations at Le Diamante, in Main Road,have been on hold.
“Goodbye. Tata ma chance, it’s over,” saysRika Lourens, previously reported to be thedirector of Demindex Properties – the compa-ny which bought the building at an auctionin 2009.
However, Lourens says she has resigned asa director, effective end August.
“The Rika Lourens Family Trust is liqui-dating the company. I am owed lots of money.When I am ready, I may buy it back and finishit at my leisure,” says Lourens.
She claims the problems began when a“lawyer stole R10 million from the trust ac-count”, which was “for the transfer of thebuilding”.
She says this man is out on bail, and facesnine other charges. A query regarding this al-legation has been sent to the CommercialCrime Unit, but could not be confirmed beforegoing to print.
Lourens says she is waiting for the FidelityFund to pay out the money.
The Fund’s objective is to protect the publicagainst loss as a result of the theft of trustfunds by practitioners. The protection provid-ed by the Fund encourages the public to useservices provided by legal practitioners withconfidence.
“It is absolute hell to get money out of theFidelity Fund,” says Lourens.
Described in posters as the “Jewel on Mui-
zenberg’s Golden Mile”, the developmentpromises to transform the once-dilapidatedSouth Sands building, dubbed “PeppermintPalace” by locals because of its colour.
Illegal tenants were evicted in July 2008 andDemindex Properties bought the property forR12.8 million at an auction the next year.
“It is looking splendid,” says Lourens, add-ing at least eight other developers tried andfailed.
The development when complete will con-sist of 39 lifestyle units, selling from underR795 000. There will be indoor and outdoorpools, gym and conference facilities.
Previously, People’s Post reported on prob-lems faced by the developers, (“Le Diamanteat a standstill”, People’s Post, 19 October 2010and “Contractor claims non-payment forwork on Le Diamante, People’s Post, 15 No-vember 2010).
“How do you pay contractors when the law-yer stole the money?” asks Lourens.
A settlement was reached in August 2011and Demindex Properties was instructed topayall themoneyowed to oneof their contrac-tors Marmoran, a supplier of customised wallcoatings.
Ward councillor David D’Alton says the lat-est information available to him is “there ap-pears to be a shortage of funding”. Lourenssays there he is ignorant of the facts. “Thereis plenty of money available for the comple-tion of the building, providing we can get theFidelity Fund to payout the money thelawyer stole. The de-mise of this buildingwas caused by a dis-honest lawyer.”

“YOU will be your own boss.”
These words are met with a big smile fromone of the candidates attending a Big Issueworkshop in Masiphumelele.
The respected magazine provides opportu-nities for the unemployed to learn new skillsand provides an income through street sales.
The presentation, held in the communityhall on Thursday, informed potential newvendors how the project would work.
Those who were still interested afterwardswere signed up, ready to start selling fromthe very next day.
Sisanda Nini was one of this small group.“I’m so happy,” she says, adding “I’m really,really suffering.” She has been unemployedfor years and battles to support her child (8)on her husband’s small income.
Shakes Dwangu of Big Issue explained ven-dors buy the magazine for R9 and sell it forR18. They use the income they make fromsales to buy new copies, but R9 is their profitfrom every sale.
The first five magazines will be providedfree to get new vendors started.
The Masiphumelele vendors who signedup will collect their copies from the ‘pinkhouse’ opposite the community hall.
There is still an opportunity for other ven-dors to apply. The Homeless Project’s Mziya-nda Mphikwa explains this project is a part-nership between the Community Support
Service (CSS) and the Homeless Project.“Unemployment is one of the factors which
causes homelessness,” says Mphikwa, add-ing one cannot deal with homeless childrenon the street without dealing with the causes.
He adds the current unemployment crisisexists not because there are not enough jobsavailable, but because of lack of access to in-formation and infrastructure. For example,he says many of the Masiphumelele resi-dents had not heard of the magazine.
The CSS hopes to attract other organisa-tions to the informal settlement
Proportional representative councillorMzuvukile Nikelo says: “We are trying eve-rything we can to uplift people from pover-ty.”
He applauds the CSS for their role in mak-ing this possible. This is its first project andhe hopes it will be one of a series of suchprojects. The councillor would like privatecitizens, NGOs and corporates to become in-volved in whichever way they can. “It can beas little as providing one loaf of bread to helpthe hungry people,” Nikelo adds.
Information about bursaries or job oppor-tunities will be shared with the community.He provides an example of debt counsellorswho offered to help the community.
Mphikwa adds: “I would very much en-courage residents of the Far South to supportthis initiative.” For information about be-coming a Big Issue vendor contact Mphikwa0 084 658 1939 or Shaun Dyasophi0 084 722 2707 or Big Issue 0 (021) 461 6690.

Acting mayor visits MasiphumeleleActing mayor visits MasiphumeleleTERESA FISCHER
PROPORTIONAL representative council-lor Mzuvukile Nikelo says the only solu-tion to flooding in Masiphumele is to findalternative land for residents.
He was comforted the by acting executivemayor’s visit to the informal settlement onWednesday The visit was to assess the plightof those affected by floods.
Nikelo says the homes of 20 000 residentsfall within the wetland and are threatened byrising water levels every winter.
“They stay awake day and night,” he says,adding theactingmayor IanNeilsonhas seenthe need for alternative space.
He could not say where this land would befound, but adds “no stone will be left un-turned” in the search.
Nikelo says if andwhenalternativeaccom-modation is found, steps would be taken toensure the wetland is not inhabited again.
The councillor says this is the legacy hewishes to leave Masiphumelele during histerm as the PR councillor.
Neilson says the inclement weather hashad a devastating effect on some of the mostvulnerable families in the city.
He adds that every winter, the City of CapeTown prepares as thoroughly as possible toensure harsh effects are minimised.
“We look back at the plans from previousyears and build on them to make sure thatwe improve upon the assistance given to resi-dents affected by any flooding,” he says.
The Disaster Risk Management Centre hasso far issued 16 700 blankets, 28 500 meals and1450 flood kits. Since Tuesday 26 June, 32 691people were provided with social reliefamounting to over R1.4 million.
Neilson says despite their best efforts,many will still experience the harsh impactof flooding.
Subcouncil 19 chairperson Felicity Pur-chase accompanied Nielson.

Theatre of food is finallyTheatre of food is finallyTHE time has come! Food Lover’s Mar-ket at Longbeach Mall is finally a reali-ty! The grand opening takes place onThursday 19 July at 08:00.
A process that started nearly two yearsago has run its course and the result is amagnificent “Theatre of Food”, ide-ally situated to cater to theneeds of everyone here inthe Far South.
Hours of planning,drawing plans, budget-ing, discussing, re-planning and re-draw-ing of plans saw thedream slowly takingshape. The challengewas enormous – takethe old cinema space, anumber of line shops, achunk of mall, one old lift,an escape passage, a portionof the management offices andturn it into a first class Food Lover’sMarket of 3000m². That is roughly the sizeof 80 double garages – and we only had ninemonths in which to do it!
Phase 1 entailed the relocation of anumber of our existing tenants and thisprocess commenced with Spy Computing,Jakes Surf Shop (now Excelsior), Longbeach
Craft Market, The Vetshop and Flight Centremoving to new shops in the mall.
A lot of hard work was done in a very shorttime and we can only thank our tenants fortheir assistance and patience. We managedto complete phase 1 in October last year,with the opening of Excelsior (Jakes Surf
Shop).Phase 2 kicked off with theclosure of Ster Kinekor at the
end of September. This in-volved stripping of thecinemas and the reloca-tion of the Centre Man-agement offices intothe small basementportion. Hoarding waserected in the mall toshield the demolition
work that was to takeplace to turn the separate
premises into one big shopfor Food Lover’s Market.
And so the fun began! Heavymachinery, workmen, wheelbar-
rows, cutting torches and the like moved inand the area turned into a building site over-night.
To ensure the smooth running of a shop-ping centre while there is major demolitionand construction taking place is not an easyundertaking. Even with the best planning
and contingency plans, we knew we weregoing to be in for a bumpy ride. At least wehad the buy-in from the tenants and plansin place to make the pain as bearable as pos-sible. As with any construction some thingsfell through the cracks, but were rectified assoon as possible. A big thank you to all ourloyal customers who stuck by us, as well asto our marvellous tenants who had to tradethrough the dust and noise.
Phase 3 entailed the construction of anew lift at entrance three as the existing liftwas smack bang in the middle of the newFood Lover’s Market trading area. Onceagain the area was closed with hoarding andwork commenced in earnest. At the sametime the basement portion of the CentreManagement offices was enlarged with anew reception area built in the undergroundparking area. We lived with dust, noise,
sweat and tears for six months. But, as withthe new lift, the result was worth the painand suffering.
Phase 4 commenced in April with the for-mal handing over of the complete basic shellto Food Lover’s Market. The shop had to beconfigured and fitted out to the precisespecifications of Food Lover’s Market. Ahighly skilled team of building plumbers,tilers, shop fitters and electricians rose tothe task to transform the space into a “Thea-tre of Food”.
During this period we also saw Pick n PayClothing and Mr Price Clothing opening bigstores. We also welcomed Legit to the malland Pick n Pay underwent a revamp. Thereis still more in store, with Jet opening in Sep-tember.
We can now also reveal that Shoe City willbe opening in September as well.

Price-Lindsay says: “I joinedTwo Oceans Toastmasters tolearn to speak in front of largegroups of people, but I have foundmuch more. The people in theclub are encouraging and sup-portive. I quickly understoodthat everyone was there to learnand that no-one was ever ridi-
culed or belittled for their input.”Sheadds that theprogramme is
simple to learn. “There is a lotmore than becoming a goodspeaker at Toastmasters. It’s likea mini business leadershipcourse, but with lots of practicalexperience, very little stress andlots of fun.”

Serving othersJUST 67 minutes. Each minute represents thenumber of years former SA president NelsonRolihlahla Mandela has spent in service tohis fellow man and this country. In fact, to theworld.
It has now been captured in the annals ofcontemporary history how this African iconhas steered the South African political shipfrom near disaster to a democracy.
Madiba celebrates his birthday tomorrow.In honour of this event individuals world-wide are channelling their energy to do good– for just 67 minutes.
The call is being made by ordinary people– perhaps like yourselves – to step out of yourcomfort zone and help another ordinary per-son – perhaps like your neighbour.
This is a typically African call in the spiritof ubuntu – where people become neighbour-ly, human and empathetic toward the needsof another.
The hope is that Mandela Day – adopted bythe United Nations and celebrated onMadiba’s birthday tomorrow – will spark alifelong habit to do good.
The main aim is to inspire all to take actionthat will change the world for the better,while remaining within the ethical frame-work of being in ‘service to one’s fellow hu-man’.
How you spend your free time is your busi-ness. How you spend these 67 minutes couldbe the start of building your legacy on theshoulders of another great African. All thatis needed is the will to be the change.
Happy birthday, Madiba!. Broken down, 67 minutes constitute one
hour and seven minutes. In that time, youcould watch a movie or read a book.
This newspaper wants to help readers un-derstand the man that is Mandela.
People’s Post is giving away 10 copies of theautobiography Long Walk to Freedom.
Tell us via email to [email protected] you have effected change on MandelaDay.
Excellent service from CityTHERE are so many reports of poor mu-nicipal service delivery that I am com-pelled to relate my good news story.
On Wednesday morning I reported aleaking water meter to the Water Serv-ices call centre. I was given a referencenumber and was told they would ar-range for a repair that afternoon or, atlatest, the following morning.
Just after lunch four men arrived ina bakkie. They took one look at the me-ter and declared that it would have tobe replaced.
They immediately set to work to digout the meter and excavate a five-metre
trench to replace the pipe. They did sowith much determination and vigour!Grass sods were placed neatly on oneside of the trench and the soil on the oth-er.
In little more than an hour the newmeter and connecting pipe was in-stalled, the trench filled and the grasssods neatly replaced.
I consider this to be outstanding ser-vice delivery and the four municipalemployees are a real credit to the Cityof Cape Town.ANDREW CUNNINGHAMEFish Hoek
Shoot these baboon pestsBABOONS, baboons, baboons. Your paperis full of articles about these disgustingcreatures by mainly baboon huggers whoare seldom plundered or have had propertydamaged by these pests.
The old yawn about the fact they werehere first doesn’t wash, as the wild animalsin Kruger Park were also there first so whynot tear down the fences and let them looseinto the suburbs and see what you get.
I had a lifelong friend in Michael Bateswho – at the age of 70-odd – was killed inSimon’s Town in 2010 by a baboon whichknocked him off a high balcony.
“It was an accident,” shouted the hug-gers.
Maybe so, but if the pests were not al-lowed free access into the suburbs it wouldnot have happened. In Uitenhage the pestsare shot on site.
It is only a matter of time before a childis killed and then watch the vigilante folksopen fire.
Shoot the lot and be done with it so thatwe can look to more important things suchas improving the country.BRIAN JAMESGlencairn

. To sell or eat meat, chicken, fish or eggsis to support the killing and murder of inno-cent sentient beings. Peace starts on the din-ner plate. Be vegetarian. C, Fish Hoek
. Well done, Angela Botha. At last, a sensi-ble letter regarding these pests! KF, Sun Val-ley
. Noordhoek Soccer Club has no respectfor Crofters and Dassenberg residents. Theglaring lights are onagain!Who ispaying theelectricity bill for the lights?
. To the people who seem to have a prob-lem with the floodlights, do not try and makethis about the environment and the noctur-nal animals just because your initial com-plaint has no leg to stand on. I’m sure the ani-mals are just fine – when they start dying be-causeof the lights thenmaybeyou’ll be takenseriously.
. I would have thought that – consideringthe rise in crime here in Noordhoek – moreattention would be paid to street camerasrather than floodlights over a nature conser-vation plain, where it makes it easier for per-petrators to find their way out.
Noordhoek is historically known for nothaving street lights, but this is surely over-the-top and should be stopped. Who wants toplay soccer at night, in the middle of winteranyway? In summer the sun sets late – nolights are needed. Wasted, unjustified fundsspent and worthless job creation. Dave Sher-wood-Adcock, Noordhoek
. To the people who complained about thefloodlights at Noordhoek: your complaintsare pathetic!
The floodlights are in use for two days ofthe week, for a few hours. I’m sure the MilkyWay will still be there on the other five daysof the week.

A MUIZENBERG woman’s long-held Ol-ympic dream has finally become a realityafter months of uncertainty.
Karen Hultzer, qualified for the LondonGames by meeting the South African SportConfederation and Olympic Committee’s(Sascoc) requirements at the Archery WorldChampionships in Italy last year and thensecured her spot by finishing third at the atthe African Archery Championships in Mo-rocco in March.
However, shewas forced towaituntil Juneto find out whether Sascoc would allow herto join team South Africa at the games.
The 46-year-old says competing at the Ol-ympicswill be the realisationof adreamthatshe has had since childhood. “It is a fairytalereally. It’s quite extraordinary. You havethis dream since being a child and then itcomes and goes through your whole life,”says Hultzer.
“We all want to be Olympians, but we can’tall make it. It’s quite unbelievable. I’m there– the dream was there and now it’s a reality.”
Hultzer came close to missing out on selec-tion for London because she earned her Ol-ympic qualification spot at an African tour-nament instead of an international tourna-ment.
But she was eventually allowed to join thesquad because she had achieved the “mini-mum qualification score” required by Sas-coc at the World Championships last year.
None of the eight South Africans who par-ticipated at the championships were able tosecure qualification.
“Thepolicy thatwas signedbySascocwithregards to qualifications was that we neededto qualify at the championships,” saysHultzer.
“The standard was very high. We had allthe top athletes in the world there and only64 places. You had to come in the top 24 toacquire a spot and none of the South Afri-cans made it.”
Hultzer is now completely focused on thetask at hand and says she will be aiming forgold. “Obviously one has to go for gold.There is no question, we all have that vision.But for me, just being there is fantastic.”
“Just to compete at your best, against thebest – you come out a winner whatever hap-pens. The fact that I am representing mycountry, I’m standing there with the SouthAfrican flag next to me is awesome, absolute-ly awesome.”
Hultzer and the 34 other Western Cape-based athletes competing at the Olympicswere sent off by provincial minister of Cul-tural Affairs and Sport, Dr Ivan Meyer at anevent at Athlone Stadium on last Tuesday.
